So, if need be, I have to manually readjust uid:gid after the build. >> At this point $1 should be start|stop|restart.

I started from the Archlinux configure recipe here... https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/co/courier-mta/PKGBUILD and their --sbindir is /usr/bin instead of /usr/sbin so imapd was being overwritten with the wrong one! FWIW this is the build script I am using which may a good starting point for someone else if they do not usually build from source. These adjustments below will pretty well allow it to run on a deb based system using the standard startup scripts (I should include Alessandro Veselys' patch too)...
